Joshua 9
1 And it came to pass, when all the kings that were on this side of the Jordan, in the mountain, and in the lowlands, and in all the coast of the great sea opposite Lebanon, the Hittites, and the Emorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, heard this,
Kutangla lun mwet Israel inge pwengpengelik nu sin tokosra nukewa lun mwet Hit, mwet Amor, mwet Canaan, mwet Periz, mwet Hiv, ac mwet Jebus, su facl selos oan roto in Infacl Jordan, fahla sasla fineol uh, ac pe eol uh, nwe ke sun acn tupasrpasr sisken Meoa Mediterranean ac utyak nu tafunyen lucng sun acn Lebanon.
2 That they assembled themselves all together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
Elos nukewa tukeni insesela in mweun lainul Joshua ac mwet Israel.
3 And when the inhabitants of Gib'on heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and unto 'Ai,
Tuh ke mwet Gibeon, su mwet Hiv, elos lohng ke ma Joshua el tuh oru in acn Jericho ac Ai,
4 They also did work wilily, and went and feigned to be messengers, and took old sacks for their asses, and wine-bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;
na elos nunkauk in orek kikiap nu sel. Elos som ac orani mongo nu luin mahn pak ac nwakang nu fin kosro donkey natulos, wi pak in neinyuk wain ma mihsasa ac punla.
5 And [put] old and patched-up shoes upon their feet, and old garments upon themselves; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.
Elos nokomang mahn nuknuk ac falkeang mahn fahluk pun, ac bread ma elos us pulamlamla ac suckak.
6 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We are come from a far-off country; and now make ye a covenant with us.
Na elos som nu Gilgal, nu nien aktuktuk lun mwet Israel, ac fahk nu sel Joshua ac mwet Israel, “Kut tuku yen loesla me, ac kut kena tuh kowos in orala sie wulela nu sesr.”
7 And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell in the midst of us; and how can we make a covenant with you:
Ac mwet Israel elos fahk, “Efu ku kut in orek wulela nu suwos? Kowos acnu muta fototo nu yorosr.”
8 And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and whence come ye!
Na elos fahk nu sel Joshua, “Kut tuku in kulansupwekom.” Ac Joshua el siyuk selos, “Su kowos an? Ac kowos tuku oya me?”
9 And they said unto him, From a very far-off country are thy servants come, because of the name of the Lord thy God; for we have heard his fame, and all that he hath done in Egypt;
Na elos fahk nu sel, “Kut tuku yen loesla me, ke sripen kut lohng ke LEUM GOD lowos, oayapa kut lohng ke ma nukewa El oru in acn Egypt,
10 And all that he hath done to the two kings of the Emorites, that were beyond the Jordan, to Sichon the king of Cheshbon, and to 'Og the king of Bashan, who was at 'Ashtaroth.
ac ma El oru nu sin tokosra luo lun mwet Amor, su muta kutulap in Infacl Jordan — tokosra Sihon lun acn Heshbon, ac tokosra Og lun acn Bashan su muta in acn Ashtaroth.
11 Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country said to us, as followeth, Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, Your servants are we: and now make ye with us a covenant.
Mwet kol lasr ac mwet nukewa in facl sesr elos fahk tuh kut in eis ma nasr ac akola in tuku sun kom. Elos fahk nu sesr tuh kut in tuku ac eiskutwot tuh in mwet kulansap lom, ac siyuk tuh kom in oru sie wulela nu sesr.
12 This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; and now, behold, it is dry, and it is become mouldy:
Liye bread nasr inge. Ke kut mukuiyak in tuku liki acn sesr ah, bread inge srakna fusrfusr. A liye, inge pulamlamla ac suckak.
13 And these wine-bottles, which we filled, when new, — but behold, they are now become rent; and these our garments and our shoes are become worn out by reason of the very long journey.
Ke kut tuh nwakla mwe neinyuk wain inge, sasu na. A liye, mihsasa uh. Nuknuk lasr ac fahluk lasr mihsasa uh ke sripen loesla fahsr lasr uh.”
14 And the men took of their provisions, but the decision of the Lord they did not ask.
Mwet Israel elos eis ac kang kutu mwe mongo selos inge, tusruktu elos tiana lolngok yurin LEUM GOD meet.
15 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the princes of the congregation swore unto them.
Joshua el orala sie wulela nu sin mwet Gibeon tuh elos fah ku in moul ac muta in misla. Ac mwet matu lun mwet Israel elos wi pac oru wuleang lalos in karingin wulela se inge.
16 And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they dwelt in the midst of them.
Len tolu tukun orekla wulela se inge, mwet Israel elos konauk lah pwayeiya uh mwet inge elos mutana apkuran nu yorolos.
17 And the children of Israel broke up, and came unto their cities on the third day; and their cities were Gib'on, and Kephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiryath-ye'arim.
Ke ma inge mwet Israel elos mutawauk in sifil fahsr, ac tukun len tolu elos sun acn sin mwet inge — Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, ac Kiriath Jearim.
18 And the children of Israel smote them not; because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the Lord, the God of Israel; but all the congregation murmured against the princes.
Tusruktu mwet Israel elos kofla in onelosla, mweyen mwet kol lalos inge elos tuh orala sie wulela ku nu selos ke Inen LEUM GOD lun Israel. Ke sripen wulela se inge, mwet Israel nukewa torkaskas lain mwet kol lalos.
19 And all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the Lord the God of Israel: and now we cannot touch them.
Na mwet kol lun mwet Israel elos topuk, “Kut orala wulela se tari nu selos ke Inen LEUM GOD lun Israel. Ouinge, kut tia ku in oru kutena ma nu selos.
20 This will we do to them, and we will let them live, that there be no wrath upon us, on account of the oath which we have sworn unto them.
Kut enenu in lela elos in moul ke sripen wulela sac. Kut fin tia, God El ac fah kai kut.
21 And the princes said unto them, Let them live: and they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation, as the princes had spoken unto them.
Lela elos in moul, tusruktu elos ac fah mwet in ti etong ac ut kof lasr.” Pa inge nunak lun mwet kol ah.
22 And Joshua called for them, and he spoke unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you: whereas ye dwell in the midst of us?
Ac Joshua el sap tuh mwet Gibeon in tuku nu yorol, ac el siyuk selos, “Efu kowos ku kiapwekutla ac fahk mu kowos tuku yen loesla me, a kowos mutana fototo nu yorosr?
23 And now be ye cursed, and there shall not cease to be of you servants and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
Ke sripa se inge, God El selngawikowosi. Kowos ac mwet lowos fah mwet kohs nwe tok. Kowos ac fah mwet in ti etong ac ut kof nu ke lohm sin God luk.”
24 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the Lord thy God had commanded his servant Moses to give unto you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; wherefore we were sore afraid for our lives because of you, and we have done this thing.
Ac elos topuk, “Aok, kut oru ke sripen kut etu tuh pwaye LEUM GOD lowos El sapkin nu sel Moses, mwet kulansap lal, tuh elan asot acn nukewa su kowos fah utyak nu we, ac kunausla mwet nukewa su muta fin acn ingan. Kut oru ouingan mweyen kut arulana sangeng suwos ac nunku mu kowos ac unikutla.
25 And now, behold, we are in thy hand; as it seemeth good and right in thy eyes to do unto us, so do.
Inge kut muta inpoum. Oru nu sesr ma kom nunku mu fal in orek nu sesr.”
26 And he did unto them thus; and he delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, and they slew them not.
Pa inge ma Joshua el oru, el karingnalosyang ac el tia lela mwet Israel in onelosla.
27 And Joshua appointed them on that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, for the place which he should choose.
In len sacna, el orala tuh elos in mwet kohs. Elos in ti etong ac ut kof nu sin mwet Israel ac nu ke loang lun LEUM GOD. Elos srakna oru orekma se inge nwe misenge, in acn ma LEUM GOD El sulela tuh mwet in alu su sel we.
